"Don't fix it if it isn't broken." Those words were running through my mind as I was editing my blog last night. I spent Memorial Day weekend searching for a program that would help me make my blog a bit more personal. I've come to the conclusion that my talent ends with my writing.
Luckily I only spent $20. I was hopeful that the $20 would also include a direction manual...no such luck. Funny how that frozen pizza I cooked for the family the other night was coated with directions. Just in case an overscheduled Mom such as myself should accidentally forget that cardboard is highly flammable.
I often spend my mornings admiring some beautifully designed blogs. I've spent hours on the Internet trying to avoid buying some of the more expensive programs. But apparently it's those exact programs that I need. I thought by reading a few tutorials I could magically give my blog a professional touch. No such luck again.
So I'm off to find a blog designer this week. Someone who's mind doesn't turn to mush when their handed a series of directions.
Hopefully soon, Mommy Maestro will have a new look. Until then, I think I'll stick to making pizza.

Good luck! I've been wanting to make my blog look a little more polished lately, too, but the idea of hiring a web designer seems overwhelming. You'll have to write about the process!
Blogger in draft has lots of new templates for blogs, but I like the way your blog looks, with the subtle designs on the sidebar, which aren't overpowering the words of your post!
While you have been busy redesigning your blog this week, I have been busy social networking!
Which brings me to the reason for this post:
I am really very sorry that this is a form letter :(
However we spent days following everyone on the Simply Follow list from the Mom Bloggers Club, and out of 690 people, maybe only 10 followed us :(
I don’t know if you joined our blog or not, but if you have a moment, could you PLEASE go over to http://www.kiboomu.blogspot.com and give us a quick follow?
Again, sorry for this form letter, but I am going to to back to ALL 690+ people that we followed and leaving this note. Hopefully we will get a super great turnout now!
BTW I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!
XOXOXO
Wendy
I found that hiring a blog designer helps a lot. It's a lot of fun and you'll learn a lot!
